this elevation of one of their number.
And thus it should be. Fully one-third

and just that they should be honored
with one of the four district judges.
There are some aisgruntled ones this
time, but all men cannot be pleased.
With Lawler as assistant q. s. district
attorney, a McCaferty D. 8. commits
sioner, and Kelly a district Judge the
Irishmen and Catholics of st. Paul may
truly say, we have our representatives.
Mr.. Kelly is native of Kentucky, and
is now about fifty years Of age: He
graduated from the law department. OF
the University of Louisville. His father
was lawyer of marked ability, and his
grand father was an honored Judge for
upwards of 80 years in Kentucky. MIR.
Kelly came to st. Paul % years ago, and
is we'll known, not only in this city, but
throughout the whole Northwest. He
has ever been one of Ireland's most bril-
liant orators, thrilling many an audience
by his earnest, learned and eloquent
speeches..
